Parental leave is more than time away from work. It is a major life transition. I help expecting and new parents prepare for leave, navigate the postpartum period, and return to work with clarity, confidence, and support.
You are preparing for one of the biggest transitions of your life, and there is so much to think about.
How do you prepare your team? What should you ask HR? How do you protect your peace while your body, family, schedule, and identity are changing? How do you return to work when you may not feel like the same person who left?
You do not have to figure it all out alone.
What I Help With
Navigating parental leave requires strategy at every step.
Together, we map out your path before, during, and after your transition.
Before Leave
Plan your transition, prepare conversations with your employer, understand your needs, organize home and work responsibilities, and create a leave plan that feels realistic.
During Leave
Navigate postpartum recovery, identity shifts, boundaries, emotional adjustment, family needs, and the pressure to stay connected or “bounce back.”
Returning to Work
Prepare for re-entry, communicate your needs, rebuild confidence, protect your time, and decide what work should look like now.
Who This Is For
This coaching is for expecting and new parents, including moms, dads, partners, adoptive parents, and non-birthing parents, who are preparing for parental leave, currently on leave, returning to work, or rethinking how their careers and families fit together now.
Whether you are carrying a baby, supporting a partner, welcoming a child through adoption or surrogacy, recovering postpartum, navigating a NICU stay, managing a high-pressure career, or simply feeling unsure about what comes next, there is space for you here.
Practical support.
Emotional grounding.
Career-aware strategy.
My perspective on this transition is shaped by multiple generations and industries.
Having built my career while raising my own family, I understand the pressure of trying to show up fully at work and at home. Now, as a grandmother watching my daughter and bonus daughter navigate their own parenting journeys, I see even more clearly the level of structural and emotional support parents truly need.
Bridging the complex demands of the workplace with the intimate realities of family life, I offer a thoughtful, grounded space to plan, process, and prepare for what comes next with clarity, confidence, and care.
